Avant

AVANT, 2003-04

In AVANT, we explore the first exterior application of AlgoRhythm Technologies for an entire building. The Algo frame mimicked the structural columns to suggest an undulated surface following bending moments. We also designed the entrance lobby, entrance canopy rear balconies, and roof elements.

AVANT, a 13-story luxury apartment building in Chelsea located at 559 West 23rd Street in Manhattan, was in collaboration with architect Garrett Gourlay who had designed the building for developer Stanley Perelman. Computer rendering by DBox, close-up images by the studio.
